Plant diversity in sedimentary DNA obtained from high-latitude (Siberia) and high-elevation lakes (China)
BACKGROUND: Plant diversity in the Arctic and at high altitudes strongly depends on and rebounds to climatic and environmental variability and is nowadays tremendously impacted by recent climate warming. Therefore, past changes in plant diversity in the high Arctic and high-altitude regions are used...
